Work Life Balance

Finding a work life balance is especially important for those interested in property management. Long work hours and the unpredictable needs of both tenants and properties have those property managers seeking a cohesive balance to achieve both professional success and maintaining a fulfilling personal life. Below are ways to find balance in this high energy profession.

Time Management

Time management is key to work life balance. Setting specific call hours for tenants to reach out with concerns and a triage system for emergent needs and needs that can wait till the next business day. If working on a team, having those team members handle specifics vs all issues coming straight to the Property Manager.

Stress Management

Stress management is effective in helping property managers and their teams to leave work behind and to focus on themselves and their lives outside the job. Stress management looks different for everyone, but is an outlet to decompress and unwind from the day to day stressors.

Organization

Organization is key in finding balance as it is generally good business practice. An organized system will save you time and money in the long-run. Time is precious in this field, so rummaging through files or looking for lost documents can be a costly mistake.

Dedicated System

Utilizing a dedicated system for your properties can be extremely helpful. A system of separate contact numbers, emails, automated payment systems and complaint logs allows the manager and/or team to handle issues as they are needed instead of being inundated with issues at all hours.

Set Goals

Setting goals, both quarterly and annually help to reflect on where the properties/business are thriving and what areas need attention. This helps with job satisfaction as well as tenant satisfaction. In doing this, managers are able to reflect on where the business is headed and ability to reach future goals.

Education & Training

Education and training are a necessity for property managers as laws and regulations are always changing. By being versed in the regulations that directly effect the properties managed, time and headaches are usually spared. Tenants and potential business associates prefer those that are up to date on these constant changes.
